Long For Death

LESSON # 102 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)

Long For Death

Verse – 94 of 286, Section – 11
(Part- 1)

Say (unto them):
If the abode of the Hereafter in the providence of Allah is indeed for you
alone and not for others of mankind (as ye pretend), then long for death (for
ye must long for death) if ye are truthful.

God Almighty has
refuted some other fidelity of the children of Israel in this verse. You have studied earlier
that the children of Israel had stood firm on their self invented and
false faiths. One out of them was that only they will go into Heaven after
death and they will be alone heir of the Paradise. Except them neither any nation of the world will be
forgiven and nor will enter the Paradise.

Allah Almighty has
proved wrong this self invented and false belief with very simple understanding
argument. The children of Israel have been told through the Last Messenger
Muhammad (grace, peace and blessings upon Him) that if they were true in their
claim that they were alone heir of the Heaven and they would enter the Paradise
certainly then they should show long for death, because the person who has
faith that after death he will certainly enter the Paradise, he would not have
any fear for long of death. There are a lot of difficulties and calamities in
this world and in the Paradise there are each type of blessings and
facilities. So the person who claims as a heir of the Paradise, he should try
to face that world to leave for good this world as soon as possible so that he
may get a comfortable life for ever after getting rid of these calamities and
difficulties.

This very reason has been produced for the
children of Israel that if they certainly believe about the Paradise as that is
only for them and except them no other nation will enter into it then they
should show to long for death (for they must long for death) if they are
truthful.
